Is Separate Marketing Photo of Cover required?

I apologize for this question, but I am swimming in overwhelm. I read yesterday, somewhere, that a separate, high res marketing photo of the cover is required. Now I cannot find where I read it. I don't know whether I read it on IngramSpark or on KDP. Does anyone know? And if so, where I can find the specs again? Do I ask my cover designer to generate that photo?

It's not necessary to provide a separate, high res marketing photo of the book cover here on IngramSpark (for your print book). IngramSpark will automatically generate a front cover from your uploaded book cover for display purposes.

However, a high-res image (jpg) of the FRONT cover is required for the ePub version of your book (if you are publishing an eBook). It should be formatted as a jpg, 2560 pixels on longest side, minimum 1600 pixels on shortest side (350 dpi). Front cover must be RGB.
